reality intelligent perception
The majority of my background is multi-camera format, which is very broad and a very arch perception of reality. Whereas single camera tends to be more truthful and a little more intimate of a medium. Friends was an education in intelligent comedic banter; in intelligent vernacular. It was an education in scene study. It was an education in group dynamic. I came out of there with a masters degree in comedy.
mean thinking people
I'm not in a rush to do anything. And I wouldn't say I pick and choose. When it comes to producers picking people for roles I don't think it's between me and Tom Cruise, do you know what I mean?
writing artist
When there's writing that you really trust, it's very freeing as an artist.
dark acting nails
This whole acting thing was always just for me and was always an absolute shot in the dark. If it didn't pan out, I had my hammer and tool belt, banging nails again tomorrow if I had to.
writing knack way
Comedy is just to me, maybe it's a natural knack, if I can see where the joke is in the writing and I can see where the setup is and I can tell this is the way to make it.
drama acting world
When I was younger and studying acting, I never ever saw myself in the sitcom world; it was drama that really turned me on and still does.
materials ifs
You can't be funny if you don't have good material.
television comedy kind
But I'm kind of spoilt when it comes to comedy. I was on 'Friends', which was one of the funniest things on television.
silly wind tree
In comedy, you have to be unafraid to hang from the tree branch naked in the high wind and you have to be absolutely unafraid to look ridiculous and silly.
character keys lows
I'm much more low-key than the characters I've played.
meetings amount
I don't like producing. It's a lot of meetings you sit through that amount to nothing.
twenties gray
I started going gray in my early twenties.
stars ensemble shows
'Friends' was a true ensemble. There really was no star of the show.
jobs underwear silk
I don't like silk underwear. They don't do the job, you know?
